Kitchen Table Talk
U. S. President is Trump or Pence-Koch?
We had an interesting breakfast – one of many, but this one stood out given the current political climate so I am sending you this blog with a bit of a summary. The talk was mostly about untangling the politics currently on view. Things are never what they seem on the surface so what is…

From slavery – to Jim Crow – to the immense Black Civil Rights movement – to the painful Feminist movement – to the Peace Movement – to Americans for Respect of the Globe and the Universe – to Donald Trump? The election and ‘service’ of Donald Trump has exposed the United States’ underbelly the way…
Read MoreCorporate vs Democratic Structures
“It is great to have a business man as president”. “Maybe now things will get done in a corporate way.” etc. etc. Do you really want the United States of America to be a Corporate entity – like USA Corp.? Or the General Motors of America? Or even Google – scratch that – Alphabet, inc.?…
Read MoreWe Are Being Played! Trumped!
The “roll out” of Donald J. Trump’s tax program was amazing. It is the (1%) one percenters dream.

Read MoreWeight Control and Good Health for a Lifetime!
Look around – take a walk – go shopping – to the theatre – symphony – sports event and you will see many, many overweight people. How on earth did this happen!
